Immokalee Child Care Center

The center is licensed by the Florida Department of Children and Families and is also accredited by the National Association for Education of Young Children as well as the Florida Association for Child Care Management. It is open from Monday through Friday 6:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. The center offers a safe and nurturing environment for these children as well as providing age appropriate activities.

While many of the children come from migrant backgrounds an increasing number are from low income families whose parents use the centers services while they strive to find better jobs or further their education. Fees to attend the center are based on a sliding scale of the income of the family and how they are subsidized.

One thing that makes ICCC stand out in the community is the emphasis we place on education through the arts. In 2004 ICCC decided to be innovative and incorporate a music appreciation program for the four-year old students through a Suzuki Music Program. The children were introduced to the classics and learned beginning piano instruction. Experts tell us that children exposed to music at an early age tend to have better math and social skills later on in life.

The Center also places an emphasis on early literacy. Children who develop a love for reading at an early age tend to do better in school and also place higher on standardized tests.
